...distinction. If you want a good French dinner, they say, try Maisonette or Pigall's in Cincinnati, a two-hour drive. For topnotch Chinese food, head for Pan-Asia in Cleveland, northeast on the interstate. Some swear that a first-class Northern Italian meal may not be had this side of St. Louis (eight hours away...

To prevent several missiles from being fired from the same launcher, the treaty forbids testing of rapid reloading techniques or the storing of extra missiles near launchers...
...exploratory and very private discussions are an essential part of the negotiating process. Without that kind of discussion, you just can't make the progress you want. You have to be able to sit down and talk very directly, essentially with nobody else around. That way the other side will open up and tell you, "Well now, this is what our problem is." It allows you to understand their problems and to see if there might be ways to take account of those considerations and still achieve your own objective. That's why it's of critical...
